Nice to meet you R333, look forward to doing it again. — fortuna velut luna 11:30, 11 September 2017 (UTC) |
To be honest, after the reply today where I wrote "ignore all dramas and go write something in mainspace", I haven't read anything else that was posted here as I've been either busy in real life or working on another GA. At this juncture, I would like to apologise to Gerda Arendt for being a bit of a grump yesterday, and draw her attention to the fact I got my 100th GA passed today, which means the two main goals I set for this year (the other being Wikipedia:Featured topics/List of London Monopoly locations) have now been achieved, which makes me a happy chappy. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ritchie, I am trying to publish a page but you recently deleted it - "Livetecs". I was wondering if you could give me any direction so that I can successfully meet all publishing criteria, and also if you could send me the page so that I can work on it? Thanks Richardaldinho ( talk) 21:36, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks Ritchie - what I don't get in this case, is why comparable pages offering the same thing, such as /info/en/?search=ClickTime.com or /info/en/?search=Replicon_(company) are acceptable pages, where mine was not. Perhaps you can help me understand where I lacked? Thanks a lot for restoring. Richardaldinho ( talk) 22:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello "Ritchie" there is an active rock band from huntington beach california called the whining pussys, I attempted to create a page for them with references, media reviews, etc yet the content was deleted. They play all original music and I am a part of the wikiproject punk rock and bios. I would like to create the page again (I believe it was nominated because I didn't have a chance to include references, I put them later but it was still deleted.) I didn't even get the chance to finish working on the page before it was flagged for deletion and removed. Earl E. Smith ( talk) 01:01, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Ok, so Merlin Sutter is still in the NPP queue and has been since June 2015. It was already redirected once with an AfD template that resulted in redirect but a new editor reverted the redirect stating in the edit summary that the guy joined a different band. Should it still be blanked and redirected as was done before per the AfD, or should it be deleted? Atsme 📞 📧 01:44, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Karen Carpenter.
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at
User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at

Looking back through the OTD archives, it appears Beatles-related articles have made a lot of appearances this year: The Quarrymen, the 1964 tour, Imagine, and now Hey Jude. I know you tend to put music articles in for OTD, but I think it would be best if we lay off Beatles for the remainder of the year. Thanks. — howcheng { chat} 21:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Hey, did you even read my contest before deleting a page of my creation by translation (Murder of Atena Aslani)? It took some time and effort to translate that page and your action was utterly unnecessary. Where can I protest this action? Sinav666 ( talk) 12:40, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Patient Zero, I am aware of mentioned policies and rules and I still am sure this action is unfair, and without sufficient reasons. At very least, I demand to recieve a copy of my translated text, and if this remain unjustified, I shall never participate in wikipedia as protest. With regards! Sinav666 ( talk) 13:00, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Dear Patient Zero and Ritchie333, I apologise for my attitude, I understand your worries, but I assure you, the original article (in persian) was fully refferenced to the most reliable sources in it's own language. So if you would please return this article to me, I can transfer those refferences to the translated article. I accept my error, I will perform better on my later translations.

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:36, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hehe, well I'm also putting in a grant request to WMUK for another £250 prize for most Oxford dictionary women bios, I don't think Ropsie and Mega work much on UK so always a good chance to win!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:02, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ritchie,
I noticed that you have a lot of experience improving articles to GA status. I would like to do the same, starting with memory cell (binary).

Hey Ritchie,
I'm a bit puzzled about
this speedy decline. Your summary says A7 doesn't apply to guitars
which is indeed correct but the article is about a company which makes guitars not guitars themselves. I also tagged it for deletion per G11 which your summary didn't address and whilst your copyedit has improved it a little bit I think G11 could still apply - any thoughts?
Best,
DrStrauss talk 14:09, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
You deleted this article after the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Garcia (basketball) with the reason "Consensus is that the source supplied are not sufficient to show notability of this person." How is this the case? I had added more sources to the discussion - three articles with significant coverage of the subject specifically and from independent reliable sources. After I added these, the discussion was relisted and one user voted delete without a sound, policy-based reason and the another voted keep in light if the new sources. This was done too quickly. I also find it ironic that the article is being deleted literally hours before he makes his debut in the ABA League, which is a league listed in WP:NBASKETBALL, and failing to meet that guideline was a major reason given by many of those chiming in early in the discussion. I would ask that this be allowed more discussion and that any arguments stemming from meeting the SSG be struck once he does so later today. Rikster2 ( talk) 12:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
Ritchie - if the offer to recreate the content as a draft is still open, I would like to take you upon it. Part of my frustration with this process is that we are working with a new editor who created many articles that didn't obviously meet GNG and didn't meet the SSG for basketball. He voluntarily deleted those that wouldn't meet the SSG when informed of guidelines, leaving just 2 who were signed with clubs meeting NBASKETBALL and had imminent debuts (this one and Daniel Jansen (basketball). I have communicated with the editor and he is willing to recreate the article after he debuts, but it would be a nice gesture to save him some work. I worry that jumping through process hoops can turn off new editors that come in good faith and are learning the rules. As an aside, I never thought you showed any bias in closure of the article and apologize if this is how I came across. Rikster2 ( talk) 14:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Perhaps a filter to trap IP socks of /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Stylized_as_%22stylized%22_currently;_formerly_%22stylizeD%22/Archive could be launched as well? Regards, Aloha27 talk 14:06, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Hey for the chewing gum page can you please add a lock at the upper right hand corner? Thanks. Hummerrocket (talk) 19:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Looking back through the OTD archives, it appears Beatles-related articles have made a lot of appearances this year: The Quarrymen, the 1964 tour, Imagine, and now Hey Jude. I know you tend to put music articles in for OTD, but I think it would be best if we lay off Beatles for the remainder of the year. Thanks. — howcheng { chat} 21:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

tags with a GA, to showcase higher quality content in OTD with minimal effort. That was pretty much it.

Hi there, per the AfD discussion, could you please either userfy MrBossFTW or move to draft space? Thanks! -- TheSandDoctor ( talk) 04:23, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hey, did you even read my contest before deleting a page of my creation by translation (Murder of Atena Aslani)? It took some time and effort to translate that page and your action was utterly unnecessary. Where can I protest this action? Sinav666 ( talk) 12:40, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Patient Zero, I am aware of mentioned policies and rules and I still am sure this action is unfair, and without sufficient reasons. At very least, I demand to recieve a copy of my translated text, and if this remain unjustified, I shall never participate in wikipedia as protest. With regards! Sinav666 ( talk) 13:00, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Dear Patient Zero and Ritchie333, I apologise for my attitude, I understand your worries, but I assure you, the original article (in persian) was fully refferenced to the most reliable sources in it's own language. So if you would please return this article to me, I can transfer those refferences to the translated article. I accept my error, I will perform better on my later translations.

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:36, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hehe, well I'm also putting in a grant request to WMUK for another £250 prize for most Oxford dictionary women bios, I don't think Ropsie and Mega work much on UK so always a good chance to win!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:02, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ritchie,
I noticed that you have a lot of experience improving articles to GA status. I would like to do the same, starting with memory cell (binary). Before nominating it, I would appreciate it, if you could give me some advice or point me to someone with experience that could. Regards. -- Crystallizedcarbon ( talk) 16:58, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hey Ritchie,
I'm a bit puzzled about
this speedy decline. Your summary says A7 doesn't apply to guitars
which is indeed correct but the article is about a company which makes guitars not guitars themselves. I also tagged it for deletion per G11 which your summary didn't address and whilst your copyedit has improved it a little bit I think G11 could still apply - any thoughts?
Best,

You deleted this article after the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Garcia (basketball) with the reason "Consensus is that the source supplied are not sufficient to show notability of this person." How is this the case? I had added more sources to the discussion - three articles with significant coverage of the subject specifically and from independent reliable sources. After I added these, the discussion was relisted and one user voted delete without a sound, policy-based reason and the another voted keep in light if the new sources. This was done too quickly. I also find it ironic that the article is being deleted literally hours before he makes his debut in the ABA League, which is a league listed in WP:NBASKETBALL, and failing to meet that guideline was a major reason given by many of those chiming in early in the discussion. I would ask that this be allowed more discussion and that any arguments stemming from meeting the SSG be struck once he does so later today. Rikster2 ( talk) 12:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
Ritchie - if the offer to recreate the content as a draft is still open, I would like to take you upon it. Part of my frustration with this process is that we are working with a new editor who created many articles that didn't obviously meet GNG and didn't meet the SSG for basketball. He voluntarily deleted those that wouldn't meet the SSG when informed of guidelines, leaving just 2 who were signed with clubs meeting NBASKETBALL and had imminent debuts (this one and Daniel Jansen (basketball). I have communicated with the editor and he is willing to recreate the article after he debuts, but it would be a nice gesture to save him some work. I worry that jumping through process hoops can turn off new editors that come in good faith and are learning the rules. As an aside, I never thought you showed any bias in closure of the article and apologize if this is how I came across. Rikster2 ( talk) 14:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
